what's up everyone John rector from TechnoBuffalo here one of the great things about the Apple I device is that they sink seamlessly with your Mac with one click you can get all of your contacts your pictures photos in podcasts put right on over to your iPhone iPod Touch or iPad however there are a lot of other great devices out there Android in particular and getting all that information over to your Android device has caused a lot of confusion for people so I want to show you how to very easily with just a few steps get all of your pictures contacts podcasts and musics and everything right on over to your Android device let's get started we're gonna start with music pictures and podcasts it's a very easy process you can download a simple piece of free software as from sailing comm I'll put a link to this down below you can choose to buy it or download the free version if you does have to purchase it for 22 dollars or 15 euros it's going to sink just quicker and have a little bit more functionality but nothing that I've needed the free version works great one of the nice things about the sailing software is it actually installs itself right up in your menu bar so let's go ahead and install let's say you've already downloaded it say the download button here I've already got installed on my computer and then go ahead and plug in your Android device in this case I'm going to be doing all of this testing with a HTC EVO 4G Oh it'll work with any Android button simply plug it in and select USB mode depending on what phone you're using it's automatically prompt you for how you want to connect it so I'm gonna go ahead and connect mine right now I've didn't say USB mode you may want to select it as a disk drive anyway that will get it to mount on your computer so I just plug it in and it's letting me know hi can see that you mounted your device and it's gonna pull up this little menu here which is gonna look pretty similar to iTunes you can sync all of your music podcasts pictures and photos and I should mention with music it is only gonna sync you're a drm-free music so you go ahead and hop into music it opens up your sort of iTunes looking library you can select all of your music podcasts or two music or playlist rather I'm depending on what you like to do podcast much the same go in selected or podcasts that you want photos much the same one here's my iPhoto library I pick whatever photos I want them to think over and as I think them it'll show me how much remember got left here so I've got six point five gigs on the Evo and it'll fill up this bar much as it will in iTunes as you sync it over and go ahead and hit sync when you have something selected and it syncs it over nice and easily this is a very simple free way to get almost all of your information on to your Android device let's go ahead and say you just did that sync you can choose the same from iPhoto aperture wherever you might be and music you can go ahead and select back and some real sort of pulling a summary of everything you choose automatically sync when it's connected so let's go ahead and say you just did a syncing your value information there but you don't have your contacts when you plug it in doesn't ask you to sync your contacts well that is very easy to do as well if you're like me and your contacts are stored in an address book there's a very easy way to import those to your Android device let me go and open up address book and I will show you so I've got address book open right here if you go to the address book number left-hand corner and you open up preferences are you gonna want to go ahead and hit accounts and if you want to synchronize with Google and go ahead and hit configure once you configure you're going to have an option to select a Google account now here is where in the past I've created actually new Google account so you can create user X's contacts one of the weird things about Google if you seek it with your main gmail account different time you send the email to someone it saves it as a contact unless you want all those contacts put onto your phone it's best to create a fresh account so you can create one whenever you want make a Google account user X contacts at gmail.com type in your password hit OK and it's going to sync all that for you in just a few minutes up with Google so the next thing you're going to want to do is actually pretty easy let's go ahead and jump to the phone okay so now you've got your music your podcasts your pictures on your oh um but you can't call anyone you forgot their phone numbers you don't have any contacts on here let me go and show you how to get your contacts up from your newly created Google accounts right onto your phone this is gonna be a pretty similar experience for any Android device you have regardless of whether it's skinned or not here the Evo has HTC Sense on it but they were running a Galaxy S device with TouchWiz or Motorola devices motoblur it's gonna be mostly the same process so go into settings will go into accounts and sync it might be something different I'll say you probably account somewhere go ahead and hit add account Google and this is where you're going to input information for your newly created contacts account now if you create it's getting give you an option to sync sync your contacts sync your mail and sync your calendar you want it to just sync your contacts make sure it's the only way I've selected and it'll pull in all of your contacts are right over the air in just a few minutes it's a pretty easy and seamless process if you are a Google user it'll be a very familiar experience it's not gonna affect your other Gmail accounts that you may have on your Android device and I just hope you enjoy this
